SkyKast's First Mod (kind of)

Also another thing you could add a 120MM fan on the bottom left part of the side panel for intake if you so wish.

mc-dexter · Nov 2, 2008

fair point, come to think of it i cant imagen it being that bad as it will have 3 fans underneath causing somewhat of a wind tunnel, lol.

huge air flow I know that much lol

SkyKast · Nov 2, 2008

I've heard a lot of people saying that the fan controler I got was either too expensive or ugly. I'm my mind it's neither because the functionality is PERFECT! 6 fan spots (I am going to have 6 fans) and 2 power on/off buttons for the 2 lights I have! Perfect

That window design looks really nice & fits that case as well, nice creativity, as for the PSU & DVD/HDD cage you could make some covers for them,, please have a look at some I made for my mod, you could do something similar, http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=42460&page=6

yah that's a good idea i like it, its just there to hide the ugly boxy components

any opinions on my new ideas for the fans??? i would like some feedback before i go cutting away

mc-dexter · Nov 2, 2008

how about another grill/fan on the top, (if fan then have it blowing upwards... like you don't already know that, haha)

tzitzibp · Nov 2, 2008

glad you went for the mesh look...... is going to look fantastic!

still haven't found some time to get a couple of pics as I promised... (I' m baby sitting my son!), but will do it later!

fans on top is not a bad idea....also!

there isn't enough room on top for a fan because these ancient DVDs extent all the way back to the PSU and there isn't enough room above them :/

Thanks. I hope so.

then a nice big mesh top would look the part then i belive

just thinking in general, as hot air rises you want somewhere for it to escape

ohhhhh that sounds purty

it would help cool the HDDs too

tzitzibp · Nov 2, 2008

As promised... :toast:

These pics clearly show the beauty of mesh...

although you are going for installing mesh at the front, I did it at the side... and this is as simple mod as it can be! :rockout:

SkyKast · Nov 2, 2008

ahh yes thats what I'm going for in the front and back! thanks for the picts!

so those fans are just screwed right on to the mesh?

mc-dexter · Nov 2, 2008

Question.... lol, how the hell do you guys keep your system oh so clean when they have so much open air space to suck in all the dust, only reason i ask is cause it gets really dusty in this house

SkyKast · Nov 2, 2008

well these help:

http://www.xoxide.com/lascutfangri.html

http://www.coolerguys.com/fanfilters.html

I'm not using on this one cause really i dont care if dust gets in it i just want it to look sharp

my main rig has em tho

mc-dexter · Nov 2, 2008

fair point, but dust is still an issue even without the fans, what im saying is the dust settle's in the system either way, so weather it be a big fan sucking in the dust or just a simple looking peice of mesh what looks harmless. sometimes i feel it would be better making it air tight, lol, i've already got a overheated cpu so there wunt be much diffrence, haha.... well okay there would be, it was just a little joke, lol.

panchoman · Nov 2, 2008

keeping positive pressure really helps when it comes to less dust. if you have air that travels systematically with no problems, you'll have less dust then with you have a negative pressure, which will cause a sort of vaccumm and start sucking in stuff.. thus causing most dust build up. also using panty hoses really helps if you've got good fans.

mc-dexter · Nov 2, 2008

panty hoses... as in ....? haha

so positive pressire is pushing all out the case right? has anyoen got any idea what that will be like for the temps?, and bare in mind i only have 2x 80mm, 1x 120mm, 1x 60cm - small fan, big power 6000rpm

i do have more fans if needed, i could take them out of an old setup i got somewhere about, lol.

I DO NOT KEEP MY SYSTEM CLEAN

LOL

.... but I do clean it once a month....

even fan filters need a good blow now and then...

yah but its better haing to blow those out with compressed air then having to dust off your mobo or other components where its hard to clean

Wozzer · Nov 2, 2008

Looks like the mod's coming along nicely. Keep the photo's coming, i'm enjoying this thread.
